Today Explained is not bringing you the story of Not Like Us Today.

We did that back in May when it was the biggest story in music.

But a lot has happened since then.

Shortly after our episode aired, Kendrick Lamar closed out a Juneteen concert by playing

the Drake disc track six consecutive times.

In September, we found out Kendrick would be headlining the Super Bowl

halftime show. The song became the anthem for the Dodgers championship season. It got played

at Harris rallies. Remember Kamala? Then in November, it got nominated for five Grammys. It would go

on to win all of them on Sunday. That's a record for any song ever. But also in November,

Drake took this beef to court.

That's never really happened in a rap beef before.

Just a few weeks ago, Drake sued Kendrick's label over Not Like Us.

There's pending litigation over this song heading into Kendrick's performance this Super Bowl Sunday,

and that's what we're going to explain on the show today.

One more time.
